• wine food advice

• Corbières Rouge. A very pleasant red wine with a beautiful structure. Originating from the region near the river Orbieu, with its pebbled terraces of clay and slate. Made from 40% Carignan, 30% Syrah, 15% Grenache and 15% Mourvèdre , according to classic red winemaking (picking, pressing, alcoholic fermentation, maturation). The wine has matured briefly in wooden casks. The age of the vines from which the grapes come, are old, between 15-60 years old.

• Red wine - Ripe, spicy and intense. Very deep color with opaque core. Rich nose, complex, beautiful wood tone well fused with the many fruits. Full, concentrated taste with velvety fruit, sweet and creamy, beautiful smoky tone of the wood, very long in the aftertaste. Powerful and accessible at the same time. Balanced use of wood.
• Our sommeliers recommend:

  Good with slow cooked meats and stews with spicy notes, spicy BBQ dishes and roast poultry, such as partridge, with a strong (port) sauce. Also good to combine with baked or grilled lamb back, hare, saddle, leg and Iberian pork with strong sauces and strong, hard cheeses with compote.

Corvina Veronese Clivus

Monteforte, Veneto, Italië

• about the wine
• flavor profile
• wine food advice

• Corvina Veronese Clivus. This wine is elegantly made on fruit and has a beautiful refined taste and depth. The red winemaking is traditional (picking, pressing, alcoholic fermentation, maturation). Before pressing, the grapes are dried for a period of 3 months, which gives the wine more intensity. A beautiful blend of Corvina and Molinara .
• Red wine - Ripe, spicy and intense .

  The wine is full and sultry in taste thanks to the late harvest in October. This gives the grapes a higher content of natural sugars. Together with the supporting acids, it forms a fantastic balance. Soft tannins and a long smooth finish.

  Suitable as an aperitif, with steamed fish in a creamy sauce, raw and dried meat (cool the wine slightly), fried or grilled white meat, veal, pork and poultry with a rich sauce and ripe vegetables. Also good with slightly spicy and spicy dishes, pasta with tomato and Parmesan, light stews with a creamy and spicy aspect and semi-hard cheeses.

La Sonrisa Espumosa Edición Reserva NV

Dare Wines

• about the wine
• flavor profile
• wine food advice

• La Sonrisa Espumosa Edición Reserva NV Prestigious Spanish sparkling wine. Clear golden yellow colour, softly sparkling with lots of freshness and elegant structure. Made from Pinot Nero and Chardonnay according to the Charmat Method , also called the 'cuve close' method, invented by the Frenchman Eugène Charmat in 1910 and involves a second fermentation of the wine that does not take place in the bottle but in the (stainless steel) barrel. Sugar and yeast are added to this tank. During this second fermentation, carbon dioxide is created that cannot escape and dissolves in the wine. Before bottling, liqueur d'expédition is added. This is a mixture of cane sugar, white wine and possibly esprit de cognac. With this method, high-quality sparkling wines can be made relatively cheaply. Once the second fermentation is complete, the sparkling wine is bottled under pressure. At no time is there any contact with the outside air.
  
  Story behind the label: La Sonrisa Espumosa Reserva is our exclusive cuvée and therefore exclusively available. La Sonrisa, the smile in Spanish, is a fine, expressive bubble, also called Espumosa . ' Reserva ' is a quality designation for a more mature style.
• Sparkling - Light, fresh, juicy with an elegant mousse. Clear golden yellow colour, medium dry, juicy, sparkling and sparkling. Can be drunk as an aperitif or as an accompaniment to light meals.
